The Oldsmobile Flying Roadster Model H was a roadster manufactured by Oldsmobile in the 1907 model year . It replaced the L model from the previous year and was motorized in the same way as the larger model A produced at the same time .

The two-seater vehicle had a water-cooled inline four-cylinder four-stroke engine installed in the front, which drew an output of 35-40 bhp (26-29 kW) from a displacement of 4948 cm³.

The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a three-speed gearbox with a gearshift lever on the outside right and a cardan shaft. The brake pedal worked on the cardan shaft, the handbrake lever on the drum brakes on the rear wheels. Acetylene lighting was standard.

The roadster was delivered in red or French-gray.

In the following year, the H model was replaced by the MR model.
